The announcement came after the price of BTC surged over 15% from $38,000 to a 7-day high of $44,816. According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, the price of ETH saw a similar rise, climbing to a two-week high above $3,000. The price movement may be partly due to the financial fallout from the Ukrainian war, which has led to speculation that the Russian government may be trying to use digital assets to circumvent sanctions.
